A muse was traditionally a Greek deity which motivated a writer, poet, or artist to create. Now a days, it can be used to describe any thing, person, or experience that inspires. For some, it's music. For others, it may be books, movies, or writing. What I'd like to find out is what inspires you. What is/are your muse or muses? Then, I want you to personify it--(give it human characteristics or make it human-like). What does your muse look like to you? Draw it or write it, and let me know.

RULES:

1. The contest deadline is November 15. That should give everyone enough time

2. Any category can enter. Yes, that means photography, and writing too~! And, all styles are welcome, from realism to anime to whatever else you can contemplate. I'm a lover of a large range of arts. It doesn't matter what you use--cg/traditional/whatever.

3. Entries will be judged for their originality, and your ability to depict the 'idea' behind your artwork, as well as how well the artwork/writing is drawn/written. So, if you have not so hot art skills, make sure you get your idea across, and you'll do fine

4. Uhm, no porn. Artistic nudity is fine. Some blood/gore is okay, but not excessive, okay? It kind of makes me want to cry when I see people hurt or bleeding... or dying ;_; _{Poor hurt people...... *sob*}

5. You are limited to 3 entries.

6. Your request, if you win, can be anything from traditional to digital... just make sure what you request is something I can do ^^'

JUDGING:

Will be done by me. It's my contest and I'll judge if I wanna, judge if I wanna

IS THERE SOMETHING I PARTICULARLY ENJOY?:

1. When I can tell you put time into something.... so effort.

3. When I can feel a strong emotion behind your artwork.

4. Work that gives me a strong sense of who you are.

Vague enough for you? Fine, I'll be more specific: angels, fantasy, nicely done perspective, monochrome, wonderfully done color schemes, the color green, night scenes, detail, realism, highly stylized artwork, clocks, wings, feathers, strange looking boxes, something different, powerful heart-stopping say a curse word just to realize that your still on earth scenes >>, cookies, chocolate icecream, shrimp, cute rodents, hot guys, pretty hair, top hats, patches, patterns, churches--in the High Gothic style, stainglass windows, cows(moo), great anatomy drawings...

LOL, See? You'll go crazy trying to conform to what I want. Just be original and put some effort into it... You could also be a bit investigative and check out my favs, you sneek.
